[Birdtalk] Posting sightings

[John Morgan]

Not able to chase the more rare birds in the common far away locations, I 
will use the measure (scale of 1 to 10) of how delighted I felt upon seeing 
these two birds:
Dark-eyed Junco at my backyard feeder (very rare) 9.8
Peregrine Falcon, power pole SW of Utah Lake   10
Red-Tailed Hawk diving on prey like a B2 bomber landing in your backyard, S 
of Utah Lake    8
Swainson's Hawk looking strangely like a very large Common Nighthawk, Little 
Sahara Sand Dunes      9

Well, OK, I concede... the Sand Dunes are kind of far away.
